Introducing DDX10...

The DDX10 is a digital FM synthesizer plugin in VST 2.4 format for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit hosts.

It is based on the mda DX10 synth and features a simple FM-synthesis programming model where the main signal (the carrier) is modulated by a second signal (the modulator). The DDX10 supports polyphonic playback with up to 32-voices.

The following sections describe the synthesizer controls available in the DDX10.
